Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus may be used for manufacturing a surface-layered part. The surface-layered part includes a base member assembled with a surface layer member, wherein a front side of the flat base member is covered with the surface layer member, and a wrapping portion formed at an edge of the surface layer member is fitted onto the edge of the base member. The apparatus includes a workpiece supporting table on which the base member and the surface layer member are placed, such that the surface layer member is layered on the base member. The apparatus further includes a push-to-fit device for pushing the wrapping portion formed at the edge of the surface layer member in a direction to fit the wrapping portion onto the edge of the base member from an opened position, in which the wrapping portion is positioned away from the edge of the base member.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a surface-layered part comprises: a main support that supports a surface layer member to be placed under a base member; a pulling device arranged at a periphery of the main support, wherein the pulling device includes a pulling member that pulls an edge of the surface layer member, which is in a position away from the edge of the base member, outward with respect to the base member; a base member clamping device that fixedly clamps the surface layer member, having been pulled outward by the pulling member of the pulling device, against the main support via the base member placed over the surface layer member; and a relieving device that separates the pulling member from the edge of the surface layer member, which has been moved outward with respect to the base member by the pulling device, to allow the edge of the surface layer member to wrap around the edge of the base member by an elastic restoring force of the surface layer member, thereby integrating them; and a control device that drives and controls the base member clamping device, the pulling device, and the relieving device.
